why the Russians Did Not Take con.
stantinopie.

The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Times has supplemented the recent
disclosures relating TO the diplomacy
OF the Russian Turkish war with
most interesting bit OF history. At
the moment when the victorious army
was at the gates OF Constantinople
Count SchouyaloH telegraphed TO the
late Car that England would not resent
the occupation OF the city IL no at
tempt was made 70 seize Gallipoli and
blockade the ironclads. The Car
placed unbounded confidence in the
Ambassador in London, and was con
WINGED by these dispatches that an ad-
vance would be safe. Accordingly a
telegram was sent from ~. Petersburg
to Gen. Gourkho at San Stefano order
ing the troops To march 10 Constanti-
nople at once This dispatch was in
cipher, but IL passed through Turkish
territory and fell under the eyes of the
enemy. Suspecting what were its
contents, the Turks mixed up the ci.
phers in such a fashion that when the
russian commander received IL at San
Stefano IL was absolutely unintelligi-
BILE. Gen. Ignatieff tried for two days
To make out the dispatch, and finally
asked for detailed instructions. The
British Cabinet meanwhile had been
informed by Musurus Pasha of the
crisis and directed Lord A. LOTUS at
~. Petersburg 70 inform the Car that
the occupation OF Constantinople would
be considered by England cause OF
war. The projected advance was then
abandoned and Gen. Ignatieff was di
rected 10 make treaty With the Porte
without occupying the city. DIR
Blowitz vouches for this recital as alb
solutely authentic. The conquest OF
Constantinople and the overthrow Of
Ottoman power in Europe were thu
prevented by very simple device.

Some years ago there lived on the
shores OF Lake Umbagog, in Maine, a
bold and powerful hunter and trapper
by the name of Stone. who carried on
his business even 10 the boundary line
OF Canada. While attempting to cross
the lake from Upton Shore, on skates,
one evening, when the Ice was new, he
broke through the ice, and, after a
fearful struggle, was at last drowned
In shoal water near shore.
His cries were heard by several per-
sons, but were taken for those OF a
wild beast. After her husbands death
Mrs. Stone. who was as fearless as he
had been, bravely kept on with the
hunting and trapping expeditions 10

The Girl w no Helps Mother and the
One Who Helps Herself

There Is a girl. and love TO think
on her and talk of her, who comes In
late when there is company, who wears
a pretty little air of mingled respon-
sibility and anxiety with her youth,
VIII om the others seem TO depend on
and look TO for many comforts. She
is the girl who helps mother. In her
own home she Is blessed little saint
and comforter. She takes unfinished
tasks from the tired, stiff fingers that
falter at their work; her strong young
figure is a staff upon which the gray
haired, white faced mother leans and
is rested. She helps mother with the
spring sewing. with the weeks mend
ing, with cheerful conversation and
congenial companionship that some
girls do not think worth while wasting
on only mother. And when there
comes day when she must bend, as
girls must often bend over the old
WORKOUT body OF mother lying unheed-
full in her coffin, rough hands folded,
her long disquiet merged in rest, some
thing very sweet will be mingled with
her loss, and the girl who helped
mother will find a benediction of peace
upon her head and in her heart.

Folks do not very often cry over a
birthday present, but Auntie Iu did
this year.
She had dreadful fever and lost
nearly all OF her beautiful hair; so
that her head looked more like an old
woman's than like our pretty Auntie
LUIS.
Baby LUIS hair was just the color OF
auntie's, only il curled in tight rings
all over her head, and only the day be-
fore auntie had said 10 her, Il should
think you might give auntie half of
your pretty curls, baby. You would
have enough left then"
.Does you really want 'em,

opened wide in astonisnment.
"Of course do, midget I'd give
five dollars for as much hair as half OF
your curls wonld make--if had 1t on
my own head" laughed auntie.
The next morning, as Auntie lu
was brushing her thin hair before the
mirror. the door opened and in came
Baby Iu, with bunch of brown, silken
hair in her hands, tears In her blue
eyes. and pitiful, trembling lips.
